SP Cleanse - Day 3

Today is Day 3 and things are getting a bit easier. I started this morning with; yes you guessed it a Strawberry, Kale and Pear with the SP Complete Powder.

After my smoothie I decided to head to the gym to get it out of the way, it is easy to become unmotivated on a rainy day so off I went to Cardio Sculpt and Pilates. I decided to take these two classes since they were taught by the same instructor as my classes yesterday. Cardio Sculpt was definitely a challenge it was constant movement using both your body weight and hand weights. I had to modify some of the moves as I am not yet ready to do jumping jacks on my foot but the class was great! I decided to stay for Roland’s Pilates class even though I was worn out from Sculpt as I knew it would stretch out my body and relax me before I spent the remainder of the day studying.

On my walk home from Astor Place NYHRC I stopped at Food Emporium for a few items….

-Clementine’s

-Strawberries

-Zucchini

-Canned Fresh Tomatoes with no additives

-Artichoke

For lunch I decided to steam some julienned zucchini, peeled carrots, sliced yellow pepper and cherry tomatoes, it was delicious!!

I feel like I eat all day on this cleanse which is nice, but it definitely is keeping me busy between slicing and dicingfruits and vegetables for salads and smoothies. For an afternoon smoothie I decided to go with Strawberry, Kale, Pear, Mango and SP Complete.

Since it is a cold, rainy New York Day I am definitely thinking dinner will be julienned zucchini with a fresh tomato sauce… I will let you know how it turns out.

About Me

Born and raised in Long Island, NY I have seen many women go through the ups and downs of weight loss and gain. I myself had tried many diets and extreme measures to stay in shape. After graduating from Indiana University with a BA from the Health Physical Education and Recreation School I found myself working behind a desk for 5 years.
I woke up one day and realized that I was turning back into the young girl with eating issues and it was time to take hold of my life. I left my desk job and enrolled at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
While in school I have been learning various dietary theories as well as using them in my own life. In the 9 months since leaving my job I am the happiest and healthiest I have been in years and never felt better.
Now it is time for me to begin to help others overcome fears they have with food and other sorted issues.
